The Warden
Septimus Harding has drawn a comfortable income for years as warden of a Barchester almshouse, until a young surgeon reads the founding bequest and asks in print whether the money was ever meant for him. The archdeacon marshals the church's lawyers, the London press scents a scandal, and the one man who cannot defend himself is the warden. Trollope's first Barsetshire book turns a small clerical sinecure into a study of conscience under public pressure.
